Part of the problem is that higher education in the US is used to both give knowledge and rank students and the latter is very much NOT conducive to giving knowledge. Society has demand for X trained software engineers as long as X is highe

The cost at established banks was 180 - 300 per year after the initial deposit. Some also separated the stem cells into multiple packets on deposit so you don’t use all of it on one incident, unless you need to. How are you guys better?
